Production Advisor (supervisor) - Production Supervisor Volvo Group Employee Review

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Benefits are decent although the cost has been rising, most coworkers are great, they used to throw company events

Right now, almost everything. There is zero morale in Volvo North America, regardless of what some reviews are saying. People are resigning, being let go at alarming numbers, or their positions are being eliminated during a sloppy reorganization. You don't even know they're gone until the news travels or they don't show as being an applicable email address anymore. And management feels fine letting us know that more layoffs are "not off the table". Bonuses this year were utterly pathetic and only accounted for about 2 weeks of a family's grocery bill. Yes, we were thankful we got a bonus but after taxes and our benefits were removed, it was a slight slap in the face. Also not everyone got a "merit" raise this year which is a mix of performance and where you fall on a pay penetration scale (which there is zero explanation of what goes into this figure). Explanations as to why some received a raise over others was more than questionable - and raises varied greatly. We are being told to return to office full time but there are not enough desks for everyone - oh and only certain teams get assigned desks. Everyone else needs to fight for a place to sit that the company expects us to clean if someone wanted to be a slob and leave garbage or a mess all over the desk. Half the desks are missing keyboards or the mouse or don't have a functioning dock or monitors. If you don't get here by 8:05am, good luck because you will not find a place to sit. Company brags about being sustainable but is making over 3,000 employees commute, sometimes from pretty far distances, back to an office 5 days a week. Want us to do more in-person collaboration but there aren't enough conference rooms either. Expectations are insane, workload increases are drowning some teams, and all we hear is how we need to do better. Volvo made poor business decisions and now we are paying for it in a time that has been incredibly difficult for all your employees.
